1327.0. "Hubwatch/GIGAswitch rate limiting documentation" by NPSS::MDLYONS (Michael D. Lyons - Young enough and dumb enough) Fri Aug 19 1994 14:08

    ...cross posted from the GIGAswitch notes conference - this appears to be
    a Hubwatch documentation problem...

    I'm trying to set the Rate Limiting values for the GIGAswitch and have
    come across the fololwing:
    
    -	in the Manager's Guide V1 June 1993 P3-21 it states that the Rate
    	Limiting variables are "Maximum Bytes-per-second".
    
    -	in the Hubwatch V3.0 GIGAswitch Hyperhelp it defines Rate Limiting
    	as the "maximum number of frames per second".
    
    What, if any, is the correlation between the two ?
    
    Regards,
    
    David.

       ...well, the GIGAswitch documentation is correct for the GIGAswitch. 
    Perhaps the Hubwatch documentation is confusing the GIGAswitch with
    some other product.
    
         If you don't mind, I will cross post this note in the HUB_MGNT
    conference for more visibility.
